@article{Sekali_Bouzahzah_2019, title={Financial Development and Environmental Quality: Empirical Evidence for Morocco}, volume={9}, url={https://www.econjournals.com/index.php/ijeep/article/view/7266}, abstractNote={<p>This paper explores the effects of financial development on environmental quality in Morocco using time series data over the period of 1980-2015 and ARDL modeling (autoregressive distributive lag model). Here, several variables representing financial development, economic growth, and energy consumption were explored. The model shows the existence of a link, though not statistically a significant one, between financial development and C02 emissions. This said, the government is highly in need to engage a development process that promotes a balance between the environmental, economic, and social dimensions.</p><p class="Default"><strong>Keywords:</strong> financial development, C02 emissions, environmental performance, Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model.</p><p class="Default"><strong>JEL Classification: </strong>C32, Q43</p><p class="Default">DOI: <a href="https://doi.org/10.32479/ijeep.7266">https://doi.org/10.32479/ijeep.7266</a></p>}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy}, author={Sekali, Jamal and Bouzahzah, Mohamed}, year={2019}, month={Feb.}, pages={67–74} }
